Thankful Thoughts

I LOVE little boxes and gift bags. I love to make them to give and I also love to receive them. Doesn't everybody? I used my Fancy Favor die from Stampin' Up to create this box. I love the decorative edge at the top of the box. I used the Thankful Flourishes set from Our Craft Lounge. I stamped and embossed the flower image on black cardstock, then cut it out and sprayed Iridescent Pearl Maya Mist on it. I added some Platinum Liquid Pearls to the center as well as around the small oval piece that the sentiment is on. Very simple, but very cute! Thanks for stopping by today. Hope you're having a fabulous weekend! SUPPLIES USED: Stamps- Thankful Flourishes (Our Craft Lounge); Paper- Trick or Treat (Fancy Pants Designs), True Black (PTI); Accessories- Irisdescent Pearl Maya Mist, Platinum Liquid Pearls, small oval punch, Fancy Favor die (SU), organdy ribbon (Darice)

About Me

I'm a SAHM of my four little "Oodabugs" Savannah, 13, Arwen, 11, Isaac, 9, and Isabelle, 7. I've spent my life as a musical theater performer, which is how I met my husband. We met while performing in a show together, though I haven't done much performing since having children. I do keep active in the field through choreographing, teaching dance and singing locally from time to time. As much as I miss the traveling performer's life, there's nothing quite like the performances I enjoy daily from my darling children.
